Seddon A, Zimmermann B
Sci Adv . 2023 Aug; 9(34):eadi0570. PMID: 37624886
Liu present evidence of increased abundance of UV-B-absorbing compounds in fossilized sporomorphs at the end-Permian mass extinction based on Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Their approach assumes that UV-B-absorbing compounds...

Prohaska A, Seddon A, Rach O, Smith A, Sachse D, Willis K
New Phytol . 2023 Aug; 240(6):2513-2529. PMID: 37604200
Understanding the long-term impact of projected climate change on tropical rainforests is critical given their central role in the Earth's system. Palaeoecological records can provide a valuable perspective on this...

Robson T, Bernhard G, Bais A, Seddon A, Barnes P
Curr Biol . 2021 Jul; 31(14):R885-R887. PMID: 34314709
As well as guiding pollinators to the centre of flowers, areas of the corolla that absorb UV radiation may help to protect floral reproductive parts from solar UV radiation that...

Mottl O, Flantua S, Bhatta K, Felde V, Giesecke T, Goring S, et al.
Science . 2021 May; 372(6544):860-864. PMID: 34016781
Global vegetation over the past 18,000 years has been transformed first by the climate changes that accompanied the last deglaciation and again by increasing human pressures; however, the magnitude and...

Seddon A
Biol Lett . 2021 Jan; 17(1):20200881. PMID: 33497590
Ecological resilience has become a focal concept in ecosystem management. Palaeoecological records (i.e. the sub-fossil remains preserved in sediments) are useful archives to address ecological resilience since they can be...

Seddon A, Festi D, Robson T, Zimmermann B
Photochem Photobiol Sci . 2019 Jan; 18(2):275-294. PMID: 30649121
Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-315 nm) constitutes less than 1% of the total solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface but has a disproportional impact on biological and ecological processes from...

Mackay A, Seddon A, Leng M, Heumann G, Morley D, Piotrowska N, et al.
Glob Chang Biol . 2016 Dec; 23(5):1942-1960. PMID: 27935187
The forest-steppe ecotone in southern Siberia is highly sensitive to climate change; global warming is expected to push the ecotone northwards, at the same time resulting in degradation of the...

Seddon A, Froyd C, Witkowski A
J Phycol . 2016 Mar; 47(4):861-79. PMID: 27020022
The diatoms (Bacillariophyta) from a coastal lagoon from the Diablas wetlands (Isla Isabela, the Galápagos Islands) were studied in material from surface samples and a sediment core spanning the past...

Seddon A, Macias-Fauria M, Long P, Benz D, Willis K
Nature . 2016 Feb; 531(7593):229-32. PMID: 26886790
The identification of properties that contribute to the persistence and resilience of ecosystems despite climate change constitutes a research priority of global relevance. Here we present a novel, empirical approach...

Ecol Appl . 2015 Oct; 25(5):1290-302. PMID: 26485956
The local ecological footprinting tool (LEFT) uses globally available databases, modeling, and algorithms to, remotely assess locally important ecological features across landscapes based on five criteria: biodiversity (beta-diversity), vulnerability (threatened...
